Last time I was under the car, I replaced the steering dampner and tightened down the nut on top of the gear box but I still get what I think is alot of play in the wheel. Yesterday coming home from the maple grove show it was kinda windy and the car was all over the road. (BTW- took first place) Before you do anything else, check the 4 bolts that hold the cover on the box. They are NOTORIOUS for coming loose. If they are loose, you may have to back off the adjustment of the small nut before you tighten it, the re-adjust the box afterwards. -- Russ Wolfe '71 FB AT '66 FB MT '64 T34 (not running) '65 T1 (not running) '05 KIA Sorento SUV russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
